In line with BOCA’s objectives, MELBOCA is working towards raising its involvement in conservation.

Conservation Co-ordinator

At the August 2008 MELBOCA Committee Meeting, Arthur Carew was appointed as MELBOCA's Conservation Co-ordinator. Arthur's role will be to provide a contact point for MELBOCA Members for all conservation matters and to liaise with and assist BOCA's National Office Conservation Officers, Don Saunders and Jenny Lau. Arthur may be contacted at info@melboca.org.au

Currently MELBOCA provides input into two Bird Surveys, but MELBOCA is keen to increase participation in conservation projects.  MELBOCA is interested in hearing of any projects where their input may be of assistance.
